Chapter 31 Water Trowel
Mo Mo and the uncle opposite lost the card, and while helping to shuffle the card, he said, "Everything is played. Yangcheng is very close to Pingzhou. I heard that there is a jadeite public plate in Pingzhou. The jadeite there should be very cheap. I want to buy a few pendants to come back and wear for my parents, grandparents, and keep the whole family safe!"
He asked inexplicably curiously: "Buy jade, isn't it just for you to go to Yun Province to have jade? How great is it to travel there by the way!"
The middle-aged uncle who was reshuffled interrupted and said, "Brother, it is a layman to buy jade in Yunsheng, and jade is divided into many types, such as Nanyang Dushan jade, XJ Hetian jade, Burmese jade...
It’s right to go to the place of origin if you want to buy any jade. Yunsheng is near the place of origin, but Pingzhou is the jade processing site, which is much cheaper than a large shopping mall. The selling price of a large shopping mall is generally 15 times the purchase price, and then it will be sold for 20% or 30% off, haha!…”
After somehow, I suddenly realized it and said, "Oh, I think the jadeite in Yunsheng is the cheapest? I also said that it is a tourist holy place, and there are few fakes there."
The middle-aged uncle said: "Dali is a tourist destination, the price of jadeite...
Let’s talk about the Yundi Mining Jewelry under the KTV in Tianlai Village, which is dedicated to tourists. The things are not very good. Its boutique counters do not have high-end items. Generally, tourists should not go to the shopping location. Just ask the locals. Pay attention to the driver. Most drivers collude with the boss and have rebates. Most of the people who take you there in person are!
When buying jadeite in Yunsheng, you should also be careful not to ask them stupidly whether it is A or B or C! They will know that you are a newcomer as soon as they hear it.
When you ask, people usually say that this is new jade or this is old jade. In Yunsheng New Jade Old Jade is not what we usually call new pits, but a synonym for A, B, and C goods!
Goods A are generally called ‘old jade’! Goods B are generally called ‘new jade’!”
Mo Mo listened and felt that what the uncle said made sense. He could remember clearly some jade shops. He couldn't find what he said online. He asked curiously: "Uncle, you know that you are so sensible. You should be engaged in jade artifacts, right?"
Mo Mo looked at the middle-aged uncle in front of him curiously. He was about forty years old, with a moderate figure and a slightly fat figure. He had a square face, a slightly bald hair on his temples, and his eyebrows were as thick as ink and neat. When he smiled, he showed a neat and bright white teeth. His voice was neither too fast nor too slow, and he looked gentle and elegant.
What made Mo Mo a little strange was that he did not wear jade but not jade. In addition to being fairer skin, he looked like a farmer in his clothes.
If the appearance characteristics of middle-aged men may be a bit like Ouyang Zhenhua.
"That's right, just play with the rough stones." The middle-aged man smiled.
"Uncle, you are too modest. Who can play with jadeite, but you are worth more than a few million." Mo Mo probably knew that people who play jadeite rough stones looked like farmers, but in fact they were worth a lot of money.
Mo Mo's words aroused a little surprise. He didn't believe that people wearing ordinary clothes were worth millions, not to mention that they were talking to a child.
"No one who plays with jadeite rough stone dares to say that they are rich. They are poor and rich with one knife. That is, they are gambled to increase their jade and become rich overnight!" The middle-aged uncle shook his head, paused for a moment, and said, "I lose my jade and lose it until my mother loses it, haha!"
The middle-aged uncle suddenly spoke Cantonese, and his self-deprecating laughter made everyone happy.
"It's a secret, I lose to the clear light, I lose to the hole in my pants!" Mo Mo also said a few words, and his tender and crisp words also made everyone laugh.
He has no practical experience, and even if there is a systematic explanation, Mo Mo still has many theories that are extremely difficult to understand, and it is not necessary to remember jade knowledge through reputation.
If this middle-aged uncle solves his doubts, it would be even better. It is a good opportunity to learn. First of all, you have to deal with others well, otherwise they might not have to tell him what they are doing.
"Why do those jadeites turn green?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
The middle-aged uncle patiently explained: "Oh, the green color-making element in jade is chromium ions.
Jade can have a color as long as it contains a few ten thousand ions. For example, emerald green and sun green, their chromium content is a few ten thousand ions; dark green and emerald content is a few thousand ions.
If iron ions are involved in the color formation, they will turn into dark green, or black green, yellow-yang green, bean green, etc..”
As the few people listened, they all heard the cards in their hands, and Mo Mo also listened seriously. This uncle was talking jargon and experience.
"Uncle, you are such an emerald expert!" He inexplicably extended his thumb to praise.
"Yes, uncle, you are definitely an old expert among experts!" Mo Mo also said.
The uncle shook his head and said, "Who is an expert in the jade industry? There was no such thing as in the past and will not be there in the future.
There are only experts in the jade industry, and only those who buy and sell every day can understand the price of jade. The most important thing about jade is the price. From the price of a product you can tell what level it is!”
"Brother, please help me see my bracelet. They said the water is very good, how much is it worth? Let's give it a review. I spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy it, and I made a lot of money by taking my luck." A middle-aged aunt in the crowd rolled up her sleeves and showed off her right hand to the middle-aged uncle's palm.
The middle-aged uncle looked at it, did not reply directly, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be surprised if I say the wrong thing?"
The middle-aged aunt was stunned for a moment, smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "Oh, it's okay!"
"Sister, this is a water trowel, a variant of jade, only a thousand pieces. I guess you have been cheated."
"Hmph, nonsense! You have to say thousands of bracelets!" The middle-aged aunt's face became awkward when she heard this, withdrew her hand, said something angry and left.
The middle-aged uncle smiled awkwardly at the reaction of the aunt, but seemed to be distracted and did not want to explain more. It seemed that he had become accustomed to such things.
Mo Mo looked at the middle-aged aunt's face change. He probably knew that his bracelet was not worth that much money, or he didn't believe that his jadeite was a fake, but he didn't like others to tell the truth anyway. Hey, human nature!
Mo Mo thought of the TV collection program "The World Collection" again. A small number of owners were very angry when they heard experts say it was a fake, or the price was much lower than their expectations. In fact, they were just a little face and couldn't listen to the truth.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward. The few of them had only chatted for a while and went back to their own beds to rest.
"System, what is a water trowel? I seem to have heard of water trowel jade?" Mo Mo crawled back to the middle shop, still wondering. He didn't know much about water trowel. He saw it just now and really thought it was jade.
"The host, the water foam is an accompanying ore next to the jade (that is, growing next to the jade). There are often small bubbles inside, which is a bit like soap foam floating in the water. Some bubbles are smaller and need a magnifying glass to see.
Judging from the shape, it looks quite good: one is because it is very transparent, and the other is because it often has silky blue or green floating flowers inside it.
However, the chemical composition of water trowel is sodium feldspar, rather than jadeite. The density, refractive index and hardness are smaller than jadeite. From the perspective of physics, it is actually D-grade.”
Mo Mo suddenly realized: "No wonder, I just looked at it and felt very high-end, ice-type jade bracelets. I said why are they only cost tens of thousands of yuan? The real thing can cost more than 100,000 yuan!"
